Yeah had look, alot of the pics dont seem to work so abit annoying
Just remember if the centre brake light is integrated into the wing and there isn't one mounted elsewhere, you will need to mount one yourself. Eg: on the rear parcel shelf. Not a huge deal but illegal if you don't.

My daughter recently bought a black M6 VY2 SS and the first night the rear spoiler came off. It is being detailed tomorrow at Final Inspection so tomorrow evening or on the weekend I will have some pics of it.
It's not yet lowered (springs are in shed waiting for worknssv to get time to do it for her) and has rims on it she doesn't like but it will give you the idea. As CSP says, she really needs to put in another stop light now.

You can do it on the cheap and fill the holes with rubber grommets but it looks shit imo.....

I did a bit of homework on the subject a while ago to give people an idea of the costs associated with it and what's involved to do it properly.The back windscreen is painted/tinted where the parcel shelf brake light would go.If you want to keep it looking oem then there's no easy/cheap fix!

Spoke too soon - it's now lowered and from the pics I've seen is on its guts!! :eek: (Just the way worknssv likes them - not sure about my daughter though......) :D
Pics soon after detail.

Leave the spoiler on, or get a VY II Calais (Calais will be a problem if you want manual though). Calais with a 5.7 might even have FE2.

I removed mine about a year ago. tried the grommets, but they looked crap and kept leaking water. I was lucky enough to have a mate buy a silver vy exec, so i swapped boots with him. I even left the executive badge on it.
As for the brake light, i purchased an led strip off ebay and installed it.
